What to take, where to eat, where to stay, what to do, and a few little secrets on the side. Not unlike your own personal Jiminy Cricket, (minus the worries of the little guy getting smooshed) the Moab Insiders Guide will provide you with all the essentials for a perfect Moab experience

Experience "The West's Best Short Whitewater Trip," as named
by National Geographic magazine. Westwater Canyon
is a spirited oar-powered and paddleboat trip* on
the Colorado River. Guides expertly row through exciting
waves and swirling pools dwarfed by stunningly beautiful
and unique black, gold and red canyon walls. Hikes
to historic cabins, mysterious caves, and Indian petroglyphs
punctuate the river's course. Rapids such as Funnel
Falls, Skull Rapid and Sock-it-to-Me provide plenty
of excitement while calmer waters on the first and last part of the river offer a nice balance to the perfect day trip.
*Note: Water levels through Westwater Canyon do fluctuate throughout the year, providing varying levels of whitewater intensity based on the time selected. Use of paddleboats may depend on water
levels. We reserve the right to not use paddleboats
at certain water levels. See
